Recueil de Problemes Scacchographiques et autres positions curieuses (and the Russian equivalent) published in St Petersburg in 1867. LN 2408.
Schoumoff's first Russian collection of chess problems contains around 80 problems of various types printed on the rectos only, with solutions. The text is in Russian and French throughout.
Bound in a dark blue cloth hardback cover with the original covers retained. The gilt and coloured frontis has been trimmed close to the margins with some loss. The final 8 leaves are beginning to separate from the rest of the bookblock. Some staining to many pages, please see the images.
I will contact the successful purchaser with shipping options after the auction.
